Click on the form title link. Adobe Acrobat
Reader should immediately launch and the form display within the browser window.

If Adobe Acrobat Reader does not launch and you are
asked for what type of application to open the file with, download a free
copy of the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe
Web site. You must have at least Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 installed on
your computer to view, complete and print DWC fillable forms.

Be sure to fill out the form completely before you
print it. Note: The contents of a form field will not print if the
field is active (contains a blinking bar).

To print the completed form, click the "PRINT"
icon on the Adobe Acrobat tool bar on the form. If you click the "PRINT"
icon on the browser tool bar, you will get a copy of the form embedded in
the Web page.

Note: Acrobat Reader does not allow you to save
what you key into the form, nor can you e-mail the completed form to anyone.
If you want to save a completed "fillable" form, see instructions
below.

1. Click on the link to open the fillable form in Adobe Acrobat Reader through your browser

2. When you open the form you will see a “Highlight Fields” button in the upper right corner. Click this button to activate this feature

3. Depending on your version of Adobe, you may or may not have another button that says “Highlight Required Fields.” If so, click this button as well to activate this feature. This will show you the location of all fields that will accept data—those fields that are required will appear in red

4. Click on the first fillable field. You will get a dialogue box that says “Cannot Save Form Information.” This means that, unless you have a full version of Adobe Acrobat or other software that will allow you to save the filled form, you will only be able to save a blank version of the form to your computer. If you don’t want this message to appear each time you open a form, click on the checkbox in the message that says “Don’t Show Again” and click “Close.” If you want the message to continue to appear, just click “Close.”

5. Fill in all the data you have for the highlighted fields. Do not skip fields if you have the requested information

6. Required fields must be filled in or the form will not be accepted

7. Enter all data in the “ALL CAPS” format. Use the “Caps Lock” function on your keyboard

8. Do not enter any special characters. Don’t use periods, commas, colons, semi-colons, hypens, etc. For example, if you are entering the name Lupe O’brien you will type that in as LUPE OBRIEN. (Dates are an exception to the “no special characters” rule as they are entered using slashes: MM/DD/YYYY)

9. Tab between fields. Tabs are set to facilitate use of the forms for those with disabilities and do not necessarily flow from one field to the next. If you find these settings counterintuitive, use your mouse and left click in the field you need. Press SHIFT+TAB to go to the previous field

10. Several fields have drop-down lists. It is best to use them to populate the field

11. When entering dates, it is best to use the drop-down calendar. Click on the month shown to change; click on the year and use the arrows shown to change. See below:

13. To select a checkbox, either click on the box or tab to the box and press your spacebar to mark the box. Note that there are several instances where you must select one of several checkboxes. Use your mouse to “check” the appropriate one. You may also use your arrow keys to move between the checkboxes

14. Pay attention to the error messages and make any necessary changes. If the corrected data satisfies the error message, press enter on your keyboard. The error message will close and you will be able to continue
